sidebar...

had to take a mini break from 365 and basting to sew up these 2 blocks for a guild project. dug into scrap bins (thank you bonnie!), which made it a much quicker task.

the goal was a dedicated black center square and then whatever that would be fitting for a quilt for a male recipient aka no pink/flowers etc. these use 2.5" and 1.5" strips, soooo will file pattern away for possible future project, hoping to deplete some of those scraps. *** i peeked ahead to the july 1st block and it's back to 3" darks, well once i finish the june blocks that is...and with all this sewing thought it would be interesting to collect empty spools since january 1st and here is what that looks like....most of these were full, brand new spools so this is proof that there has been a lot of sewing at casa frederick and before.

well 2 got completely finished; the name badge is half done, the virginia reel ready to baste, nearly current on 365, milky way back ready, lap quilt squares cut; farmer's wife, midnight garden and schnibbles not touched....so there is room for improvement here...

Grace, I have to echo Vic and Janet's comments on your accomplishments and the great saying! The interlocking block is intriguing and looks like it would be a great block for a man's charity quilt my group makes. Would you mind sharing the source of the pattern? Thanks, and have a great 4th of July! Annie
